In 2007, filmmaker Fraser C. Heston discovered a lost cache of unedited 1969 footage shot by adventure-author, Milt Machlin, during his expedition to the cannibal coast of New Guinea in search of the lost scion, Michael Rockefeller. The film includes previously unreleased footage and eye-witness interviews, including some startling revelations, which shed new light on the unsolved mystery of Michael's disappearance. In the tradition of Werner Hertzog's "Grizzly Man", director Fraser Heston, producers Alex Butler and Heather J. Thomas, along with editor Ted Hughes, have created an entirely new film from Milt Machlin's unedited epic documentary.
The disappearance of Michael Clark Rockefeller is one of the enduring unsolved mysteries of the 20th Century. On November 18, 1961, Rockefeller and Dutch anthropologist René Wassing were in a 40-foot dugout canoe about three miles from shore when they were swamped. The two native guides swam for help, but it was slow in coming. After drifting for some time, Rockefeller said "I think I can make it" and swam for shore. He was never seen again. Or was he?
